Services
HVAC Test Adjust and Balance
Our systematic testing and balancing process ensures HVAC systems meet design specifications for airflow, water flow, and control systems. Using precision instruments, we verify performance in new installations and existing facilities, reducing energy costs and occupant complaints. This service applies to healthcare, commercial, and industrial systems.
Cleanroom Certification
We certify pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and biotechnology cleanrooms by testing HEPA filters, airborne particles, and room pressurization. Compliance with ISO and IEST standards ensures contamination control. Our NSF-accredited technicians perform semi-annual recertifications required for sterile environments like pharmacies.
HVAC Commissioning
Our commissioning includes design reviews, functional testing, and owner training to ensure systems operate as intended. This process reduces construction delays, verifies controls, and improves equipment longevity. We also provide smoke control inspections and recommissioning for existing facilities.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
We analyze air quality for mold, formaldehyde, and contaminants using advanced equipment and partner labs. Testing ensures compliance with health standards for commercial and healthcare facilities. Reports identify issues affecting occupant comfort and safety.
Biological Safety Cabinet Certification
NSF-certified technicians perform BSC certifications in compliance with ANSI standards. Services include HEPA filter replacement, leak testing, and repair for labs using Baker, NuAire, and Thermo-Fisher equipment. Certifications ensure personnel and product protection in high-risk environments.
